Beards &
Tales farm is a joint venture between myself and my son Brandon. Getting into goats was a rather slow process as I researched
goats for 1 year before I even looked at any. It then took another 2 years
to decide on what breed I wanted. I initially thought I wanted Nubians,
but my mother who is wise, questioned their size and my ability to control
them. So my search continued until I found the Nigerian Dwarfs.

I knew I
wanted a milking goat as I wanted to make soap as I have allergies. After
reading more on this wonderful breed I started my search for a breeder
close to home. This is where we met our mentors at Tiny Tales Farm. They
invited us to come see their animals and we accepted the offer.

As they say,
the rest is history because we left owing them a few bucks and we would be
gaining a few does. We needed to get fences done before they could come
home. In the mean time Brandon found a Buck he just had to have and we
went to Colorado to purchase Kannah Creek Don Carlos, little did I know I
would be bringing another doe home with us her name is Marta, thus the
start of our dairy herd. We continue to research and study other breeders
to learn.

Our
learning continues, and we have called our mentors numerous times for
help and guidance in this new world of goats. And believe me we have had
many questions, but we have made it now through our first breeding season
and it has been interesting. We are looking forward to this up coming
breeding season as we have added a new herdsire and have high expectations
from him.

We look forward to hearing
from you and hope you enjoy looking at our little corner of heaven.
